“The Regal Empress is an absolute must do for anyone with an interest in classic passenger ships. The Caribbean Restaurant, to this vintage ship lover, is the most beautiful room of any ship sailing.”
-Peter Knego of Maritime Matters

Even with additions including Veranda Suites, a children's playroom and Internet café, careful attention was paid to maintaining the vintage features and ambiance of its long history.

These include rich wood paneling, brass fixtures, enclosed promenade, the elegant main dining room with its view of the ocean and a number of very large staterooms.

The Regal Empress offers travelers the perfect two-night cruise from Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale) to Nassau/Paradise-Island, Bahamas every other day year round.

Two Nights of Fun
If you’re looking to experience everything that makes a cruise vacation special but may not have the time, money or interest to spend a week at sea, the Regal Empress is your ship!

Let’s start with the food. Take in the ambience of its beautiful classic dining room with absolutely delicious served fine-dining. And since you’re on vacation, put away the calorie counter chart because there are seven meals in all, including the scrumptious Midnight Buffets!

The challenge is always finding the time to pack in all of the entertainment options available in just two nights. Let’s see, there’s the spectacular live after-dinner shows, dancing in its very funky disco, a piano bar, Las Vegas-style gambling in its casino, several lounges, more live entertainment throughout the ship…and did we mention the Midnight Buffets?

If you’ve been busy and just want to relax, we have you covered there as well. Go lounge by the pool or soak in one of its hot tubs. If you want a beverage, no need to get up as we’ll be by to serve you.

Nothing helps leave your worries behind like a visit to the spa. Aromatherapy, body scrub, massage, facial, manicure, pedicure and much, much more. So pamper yourself, you’re on vacation!

A day in paradise - Nassau
With its deep historic roots tracing back to the 18th century, Nassau, the Capitol of the Bahamas, is one of the most captivating cities the island has to offer. Most recognized for its sheltered harbor, Nassau made history and preserved it beautifully in colonial mansions, cathedrals, fortresses and a Queen's Staircase whose steps lead to a breathtaking view of the Island.

Beyond the cobblestone streets rich in history, you will find an abundance of shopping opportunities as well. But why spend your time indoors as this is a tropical oasis with powdered white sand beaches that go on for miles, crystal clear waters that meet the sunset and a gentle breeze that provides the finishing touch.

The Bahamas has long been considered a jewel of the Caribbean, so let us help you make the most of your Day in Paradise. With a variety of shore excursions, the Island is yours to discover. Whether you choose to frolic in the shores of a luxurious resort at Cable Beach, snorkel with tropical fish above the colorful coral reefs or discover the beauty below from aboard a glass bottom boat, it will be evident that you are indeed In Paradise.
